In addition to writing, Griffiths is a frequent guest on BBC Radio 4's "Saturday Review" and has also appeared on "Woman's Hour" and "Front Row. Our Adult Fiction Books, Range includes Classics Novels, Comic Books, Crime, Thriller, Mystery Novels, General Fiction, Horror, Romance, Science Fiction and War. I only post positive reviews, if I don't like a book or cannot imagine it being one that I would recommend to a readership group whose interests differ from my own, I don't post a review. Firstly, the plot cracks along at a good pace, chapters are short, often ending on cliff-hangers which propel you through the story.

Elly Griffiths is the pen name of Domenica de Rosa, a British author known for her mystery and crime novels. The colors with the predominant purple and shades of green and blue with touches of black perfectly create an atmospheric sense of mystery. Justice isn't sure who she can trust, but she will have to confide in someone to solve the case and save lives. As Justice digs for clues, subtly probes witnesses and is guided by logic she soon uncovers more than she was prepared for and must rely on her wits to solve a mystery and simultaneously stay out of trouble The novel is written from the perspective of Justice and her character comes across vividly. But when Mr Arthur dies in mysterious circumstances, Justice soon has a list of questions in her journal: why hasn’t he been given a proper military funeral?

Jeg er bestemt imponeret over Elly Griffiths evne til at fastholde læseren, i yderste spænding, uanset om læseren er helt ung eller man er i en langt mere moden alder.

Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway novels take for their inspiration Elly's husband, who gave up a city job to train as an archaeologist, and her aunt who lives on the Norfolk coast and who filled her niece's head with the myths and legends of that area.After all, anything is better than the ghastly food served up in the bleakly Dickensian school into which she’s been unceremoniously thrust.

After a midnight feast in the barn, and a terrifying ghost-sighting in the garden, a girl disappears. At just under 200 pages, the Justice Jones series is perfect for readers of 8+ who are building their independent reading stamina.

Hele serien om Justice Jones og hendes tid på kostskolen Highbury House har undertitlen ”Mit navn er Justice”. We started out with Justice at age twelve, entering Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk late in the first semester. Highbury House de día es algo misterioso pero por la noche es peor y es cuando Justina decide investigar la muerte de la joven criada del colegio, siempre acompañada de su cuaderno para ir tomando notas e irá formando una lista de sospechosos… pero… y si muriera alguien más?

Justice doesn’t know who to trust, and then when a second death occurs while the school is cut off from the surrounding area by a heavy snowfall, the stakes are immediately raised. Y5 girls will easily pick this up to read, but equally a mixed class would enjoy this in shared reading and it is perfect for exploring the genre. It was a chance remark of my husband's that gave me the idea for the first in the series, The Crossing Places.School is totally alien to her, with its arcane customs, and its delight in games that are more like gladiatorial contests, and almost universal worship of Helena Bliss, the head girl. Justice har ikke tidligere haft særlig meget omgang med jævnaldrende, så denne første tid på kostskolen, skal også lære hende at begå sig blandt jævnaldrende børn og aflæse deres kropssprog. Especially the very superficial grief over the mother's death seemed completely wrong and out of character especially if you considering their close ties and they were almost only the two of them together most of the time before she died. Justice is a mature girl, older than her years because of her upbringing, and has a great determination to solve puzzles.
